It is not 100% your answer the time test It depends about how many RCD do you have. But if someone come for test unfortunately you can’t use electric for few hours."
"Hello,
No just to the appliances being tested at the time. if you have a full electrical inspection this would effort all power"
"You can use your electric ad normal the test is to check electrical equipment for any defects which migjt not be visible"
Answered on 18th Jan 2021 - Member since Dec 2019 - report"PAT testing is portable appliance testing, it’s unplugged when testing. So no main power disruption. EICR requires the main power to be switched off for the duration of the test usually 2-5 hours depending on the extent of the installation."
